Capo 2nd fret  
  
(Chorus):  
  
D5  
I feel no shame  
D5  
I'm proud of where I came from  
      C5        G5                 D5  
I was born and raised in the boondocks  
D5  
One thing I know  
D5  
No matter where I go  
          C5         G5               D5  
I keep my heart and soul in the boondocks  
  
(Verse)  
          A5  
And I can feel  
     C5                              D5  
That muddy water running through my veins  
          A5        C5                     D5  
And I can hear that lullaby of a midnight train  
   C5                  G5  
It sings to me and it sounds familiar  
  
(Repeat Chorus)  
          A5  
And I can taste  
     C5                             D5  
That honeysuckle and it's still so sweet  
        A5  
When it grows wild  
C5                             D5  
On the banks down at old camp creek  
             C5                  G5  
Yeah, and it calls to me like a warm wind blowing  
  
(Repeat Chorus)  
  
(Bridge)  
G5                          D5  
It's where I learned about living  
G5                          D5  
It's where I learned about love  
G5                          D5   
It's where I learned about working hard  
    C5                   G5   
And having a little was just enough  
G5                          D5  
It's where I learned about Jesus  
G5                   D5  
And knowing where I stand  
G5                    D5       C5  
You can take it or leave it, this is me  
G5            D5  
This is who I am  
  
(Solo)    
D5 - D5 - C5 - G5 - D5  
  
          A5   
Give me a tin roof  
  C5                    D5  
A front porch and a gravel road  
           C5   
And that's home to me  
              G5   
It feels like home to me  
  
(Repeat Chorus)  
  

          C5         G5               D5  
I keep my heart and soul in the boondocks

You get a line, I'll get a pole
